A big-screen television was
dedicated in memory of Library Trustee and Friends of the Grand
Island Memorial Library Treasurer Scott Smith on Thursday, Aug. 23.

The Friends of the Library
used funds donated in memory of Scott Smith to purchase a 60-inch
television, Blu-ray/DVD player and other equipment for the library.
The library plans on showing films for families on Saturday
afternoons in the fall.

A group of Scott Smith's
friends and relatives, library board members and Friends of the
Library heard about the various volunteer activities Scott performed
for the library. A plaque located near the television states: "In
memory of Scott Smith 1957-2010, whose leadership and foresight are
celebrated and remembered by the Friends and Trustees of the Grand
Island Memorial Library." Dedicated August 2012.
